I’m grateful for my simple cup of early morning tea, the best way to start the day.
I’m grateful for the chance to go to the ballet this evening, I’ve never been before and I’m really looking forward to it.
Have a great day x
Today I’m grateful for waking up hangover free.
Although I slept only 5 hours I am feeling good, I am grateful for this.
I am grateful for getting up in the morning and got the focus to do all of my daily routines.
The stress an anxiety which where at a high level the last couple of days, are gone… I am grateful for this.
I am grateful for the nice people I met this week.
Also I am grateful for having a fridge full of fresh food.
Good morning
I’m grateful to have put a halt to the damage I was doing to my body.
I’m grateful that I have returned to regular exercise and that my body is strong enough and healthy enough to participate and enjoy it.
I’m grateful to have the time and space to really make careful and caring decisions about my life.
I’m grateful for a job that I mostly enjoy.
I’m grateful for a loving and supportive husband.
I’m grateful for my loving and supportive grown sons.
I’m grateful to have had another birthday, this one was free of alcohol and full of positive expectations for the coming year.
I’m grateful for this community and I wish you all health and peace.
I’m grateful that i was able to travel a couple hours each way to watch my daughters basketball team play last night. I’m grateful that i can almost stand up straight today. I’m grateful for the past 819??? Days I’ve been sober. I’m grateful for the continued growth in sobriety. I’m grateful that i know my sobriety will always evolve and always need work. I’m grateful that i can come here to work on it. I’m grateful for my family in my home and here.
I’m grateful for music, for evenings spent recently listening to music with my partner and for last night when my guy was plucking away on his bass, I just decided to mess around on my keyboard. We listened to songs and tried to play along and it was a good lesson in finding key signatures and chords. Great fun! And I’m grateful my motivation to get back to playing piano is returning.
I’m grateful my guy is willing to try making southern American biscuits with me (I specify because I realize that biscuits mean something different depending on where you are!) and I have seen videos but I’ve never made them. Wish us luck! I’m grateful I’ve been in a mood to trying new things, which generally means I’m in a good headspace.
I’m grateful I slept in this morning and that my headache is mild.
I’m always grateful for my amigos here.
I’m grateful my internal clock woke me up before 5:30. Especially since I forgot to set my alarm.
I’m grateful for strong coffee this morning.
I’m grateful I don’t have much time for my readings but I always have time for prayers And gratitude, and a meme or 2 . You got to laugh folks. And music.
I’m grateful to God and friends like you I’m sober.
I’m grateful I can share my life with y’all. Whether you want it or not. Just scroll on by if not
I’m grateful I’m very practical and I clean as I go.
I’m grateful I got a good sense of direction.
I’m grateful to be sitting here in the dark with the glow of my iPad and the flickering light from my cool tiny contemporary fireplace.
I’m grateful when I stepped on Daisy this morning it wasn’t full weight and she hollered out before I could step on her fully. She’s a tripper that one. She just loves feet. I’m grateful for her cute grumpy noises she makes and her bashing into me, especially on the counter when she bashes into my face when I lean in for a good one. Im grateful she rescued me even though we had 3 cats. She would have been Coyote bait for sure.
I’m grateful for my travels.
Im grateful for all the miracles of recovery I’ve witnessed here in Santa Monica especially my children. Im grateful I think I can say I’m part of this miracle of recovery and it feels so good.
I’m grateful we had the means to fly out here every year to watch my daughter take a cake at her SNL meetings. I got to admit it was a little frightening 12 years ago, but I got to witness some major recovery happening back then and I think I always was so proud of the people, total stranger, in those meetings. I think I always wanted to be part of that miracle.
I’m grateful you all are part of this miracle of recovery with me. No matter what your story is.
I’m grateful I’ve learned it’s not a contest. I’ve never thought my story was that bad or hard. But it’s my story. And I’m sticking to it.
I’m grateful I’m not picking up today.
And there’s no way in hell I’m picking up after an 8 hour drive home when I finally get to the club tonight.
I’m grateful for gratitude and gratitudes.
We can only be said to be ALIVE in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our Treasures.
Esther and Jacob .com???
I’m grateful I am learning this, too. Im grateful I said I’m “learning” because I don’t think I will stop learning this one.
I’m grateful to be three weeks and 8 hours sober. I’m grateful for this thread and everyone on it!
I’m grateful that when someone contacted me yesterday about the name of my shop being trademark infringement (I’m still not sure if it really qualifies as that but…) I was able to process how I felt (a lot of stress, sadness, irritation) instead of finding a six pack and drowning it all.
I’m grateful i I was able to talk about this to my husband and it helped him examine some of his whys for drinking.
I’m grateful I came up with another name and was able to catch the sign printing guys minutes before they were starting on my sign with the old name and I don’t have to pay for two. I mean seriously, thank Nature for that!
I’m grateful I woke up this morning embracing my new shop name and really feeling it. Makes it easier to face all the very annoying name change things I have to go through now. I’m also grateful this happened now instead of in six months when I would have been much more entrenched.
I’m grateful I was able to acknowledge how badly I wanted to drink, accepted it, told myself that wasn’t an option and figured out something else to do to help me through it.
I’m grateful for my little dog and my comfy couch and my plant babies and hot tea.
Today I’m grateful for another saturday as usual filled with errands and chores. I’m grateful for routine. I’m grateful my old boy sleeps on my leg. He is so lovely and cute. I’m grateful I had a kind of late, weird lunch and I liked it (creative leftover mingle-mangle on toast). Grateful that I’m ok with just being tired and not tired and frustrated. I’m grateful I’m sober and that my drunken husband leaves me alone. I was pretty pissed when I came home at lunch time and found him completely boozed. Thanks for your wise words @Dazercat
I am grateful that I slowly understand that opinions are just that. They are not more correct when they come from others.
I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful I had an uneventful day and do not feel.bad about it. I feel lonely some days, a lot, but as every feeling it comes and goes.
I am grateful I can read. I am grateful I have enough. I am grateful I had a good dinner and did not overeat.
I’m grateful to God, thank you for helping me stay clean and sober throughout another productive day and please help me sleep well tonight. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I called Mom after I got home safely and that she is coming to visit tomorrow for lunch. I’m grateful to be laying down, tired and sore, for a good reason. I’m grateful for the snow and watching it fall while walking home and listening to music was fantastic. I’m grateful for sports to watch and discuss with my friends and family.
God bless you all. &
p.s. I believe in you, you’re awesome. Ya you!!
I’m grateful for love. Admittedly I have not always understood organized religion. But, like love, it is something we unequivocally believe in but can not touch or see. We inherently know it is there. I’m grateful that I know there is something out there that watches over us, that loves us, that makes us want to be kind, loving beings.
I’m grateful for this quote.
“Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can’t understand it”
I’m am grateful when my mom says she’s believes in telepathy. I always smile and ask why. She says “because when I think about you, you call”. I think to myself mom that’s because you think about me a lot. But I don’t say it. It makes my heart happy. Even if I don’t always see it. I know she loves me.
I’m grateful for the yummiest salad I had for dinner. I’m grateful I was falling into some old ED habits and I said no more and changed up my food choices today. I’m grateful I’m getting more flexible.
I’m grateful I’m beginning to listen and trust myself. I’m grateful I can see whose in the drivers seat. Me or my addict, and I can kick her out of it now.
I’m grateful for the life I’ve been given.
Morning,
Today I’m grateful for a lovely evening out in Manchester with my 2 daughters, 21 and 18, they’re such good company and we always have lots of laughs.
I’m grateful for breakfast in bed this morning, a nice surprise from my partner.
I’m grateful to be taking time for self care this morning. I read a lot about it on TS but am not so good about doing it. I often feel guilty if I’m not ‘doing something’ around the house. Today, I’m catching up on TS posts, reading and relaxing.
Have a great day x
I’m grateful that i slept through the night, first time since surgery i haven’t woke up for ibuprofen. I’m grateful for my strong cup of coffee I’m about to go have. I’m grateful for this place.
Good morning Pinky
@PinkyP
I’m grateful you got some mid day gratitude from my favorite country, although I never been to Manchester, so it’s easier for me to find the thread at the top this morning. It’s taken me a long time to learn not to feel guilty if I’m not “doing something.” I don’t think I’ve learned it still. But I got the other side of self care down with manis and pedis and massages and some good meditations or maybe just walk. Like a stroll, not even and exercise walk. Just a walk for no reason to be grateful for the little things. I’m glad your here. Enjoy your reading and catching up. This forum and especially this thread keeps me sober
I’m grateful to God I made it home safely after our long journey. Can I change my mind Stella? It does feel like home this morning.
@Its_me_Stella Its where the pets are right? That’s all I need. And the M3 convertible sitting in the garage. Nothing wrong with being grateful for some of our material things. Ya I’m home
I’m grateful for our house.
I’m grateful to have a yard again so we won’t be spending all day scheduling EVERYTHING around when we take the dogs out.
I’m grateful I’m up too early. First thing my wife will say after she asks me what time did you get up will be ARE YOU CRAZY? I love her
I’m grateful with our marriage we did kinda become one it’s kinda scary sometimes, but a beautiful thing.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis 2:24
I’m grateful for this wonderful blessing I get to have in my life.
I’m grateful I came to the gratitude thread first this morning.
I’m grateful the snow was falling yesterday because it makes my wife so happy to see it and we got a week of sunshine ahead.
Fuck snow
I’m grateful to see a nice new dusting though. It really is pretty.
I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt.
I’m grateful I got to wear my Uggs last night out to dinner.
I’m grateful for a warm home.
Grateful for you gratidudes.
Oh ya. I’m so fucking grateful I didn’t reward myself by getting trashed last night at the bar for dinner because “I deserved it,” After an 8 hour drive home with the pets. I’m grateful after a couple of years now, that’s not even the first thing I’m grateful for anymore. That use to be top of the list.
Man….I would have missed this beautiful morning.
I’m grateful I’ve come a long way Eric.
I endorse this message wholeheartedly.
